Marvelous Mole

The granddaughter of Texan Margarita Sames (who is rumored to have invented the Margarita) first taught me how to make a basic version of this recipe with chicken, peanuts and chocolate. Ive dispensed with the jar of Mexican mole she uses as well as the fistfuls of peanuts. Reeses peanut butter cups are solely my own idea, based on the 50's tradition of cooking with commercial products such as Coca-Cola for baked beans and Velveeta cheese for just about anything. Smoky chipotles add a delicious fuel to the fire. Go to eveningswithpeter.com to discover more!
